THE US Secret Service is thought to be investigating pop luvvie Madonna after she told anti-Trump protesters she thought about BLOWING UP the White House.

In a foul-mouth speech in Washington DC yesterday the Like A Virgin singer said she was there to stand up to "this new age of tyranny" on Donald Trump's first full day as President.

After saying "F*** you" to Trump supporters, she ranted: "Yes, I have thought a lot about blowing up the White House…”.

Now agents could be preparing to charge the singer with terror offences, according to a report in the US.

Pro-Trump site Gateway Pundit writes a Secret Service spokesperson has confirmed they are "aware" of Madonna's comments and will open an investigation.

To cheering crowds, Madonna said: "I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair."

The Sun has contacted the Secret Service for comment.

Hundreds of thousands of people took part in the protest march against Donald Trump in Washington DC yesterday - as millions attended rallies across the globe.

An estimated 2.2million people worldwide took to the streets in the first full day of the billionaire businessman's presidency.

Demonstrators descended on the National Mall in the US capital to march in opposition to the new president.

More than 600 "sister marches" were planned across the country in cities including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Denver, and abroad in conjunction with the Women's March on Washington.

Transport officials reported that as of 11am local time, the D.C. Metro had 275,000 passengers compared to just 193,000 by the same time yesterday before Trump's inauguration.

Shortly afterwards, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the metro system was at "full capacity" - while Associated Press reported that as the entire planned route filled with hundreds of thousands of protesters, organisers were unable lead a formal march toward the White House.

Elsewhere in the United States, organisers in Chicago were forced to cancel the march and instead hold a rally due to safety fears related to the large crowd.

In London, a similar march attracted celebrities including England rugby star Chris Robshaw and actress Drew Barrymore, while singer Charlotte Church marched in Cardiff.

Celebrities rumoured to attend the London march, which began outside the US embassy and finished at Trafalgar Square, included Sandi Toksvig, Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof, Bianca Jagger, June Sarpong and Ian McKellen, among others.

Over in Washington DC, Amy Schumer, Emma Watson and Cher were all spotted, as well as actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

Scarlett Johansson, who last month was revealed to be the highest-paid movie star in the world, gave a speech about women's rights, and what she called the threat posed by Trump to Planned Parenthood.

The actress, who earned nearly £1billion last year, said: "President Trump, I did not vote for you. That said, I respect that you are our president elect and I want to support you. But I want you to support me."

Alicia Keys also addressed the crowd, ending her speech with a performance of "Girl On Fire".

Organisers said an estimated 100,000 people descended on central London on Saturday.

Marches also took place in other UK cities including Manchester, Edinburgh, Belfast, Liverpool and Cardiff, with thousands turning out.

Huge crowds gathered in Mayfair's Grosvenor Square to voice their opposition to the new president.

Lily Allen later took to Instagram to post a picture of her performance, writing: "I went and sang a song in Grosvenor Square. It was very peaceful."

However the demonstrations did not remain calm across the city.

Many of the women in Washington decided to wear pink knitted hats with cat ears - a reference to comments made by Mr Trump in a 2005 leaked video in which he bragged about grabbing women "by the pussy".
